Smashing Pumpkins 4/21/94 is a live album by The Smashing Pumpkins released exclusively as a cassette that came with two candles made in collaboration with Lola James Harper. The cassette documents the April 21, 1994 performance, while the two candles – "Mais Street" and "Purple Haze" – were catered to the theme of Siamese Dream. It was released on November 24, 2023[1] as part of the broader celebrations for the 30th anniversary of Siamese Dream.[2]
The package included a personal letter from Billy Corgan that read,
| “ | Reflecting on times of poverty, both in spirit and faith, yet buoyed then by a decidedly material construct that admonished, and obliquely so: 'succeed or perish', one might be tempted to fall into a self-satisfied lilt about destiny and Fate with a special capital F. So here I say the times of Siamese were more so as two films playing on the same screen then a clear path with two roads.
Indecipherable, inspiring, inane, frightening, exhilarating, musty, dusky, and frigid, we met the challenge without while I met some deeper existential crisis within. Illuminating a vivid hope as one would project a shadow puppet by hand on a 500-foot wall. Seems easier now then this did then. Though nothing ever can be. |

Corgan and fragrance master Rami Mekdachi connected when sharing discussions about Siamese Dream. Through this conversations, they had "captured the dream and felt this iconic record warranted not one but two incredibly unique scents."[2]

- "Mais Street" – Encapsulates the reality, the grit, and the relentless hard work of that era. With notes of subterranean rehearsal spaces, incense, aged wood, and aspiration.
